Chapter 1 — The Goddess Changes Her Husband

I am the goddess of destiny, but my parents love my younger sister more. They criticized me for being dignified, quiet, and refusing to be close to them. They only love you, but I am respected by the Queen Mother and the Empress. After completely cooling down, I no longer force it. Until the day I returned from the mountain to pray for blessings, I discovered that she had even stolen my Crown Prince's fiance. My mother advised me: "She's just a concubine, no matter what, she can't surpass you. Don't take it to heart." The brother also nodded: "My cousin is more beautiful than you, and can help you keep your husband's favor. Isn't that very good?" Finally, even my father lowered his voice and forced me: "Suong Hoa, this is also the Crown Prince's intention." I did not answer. Maybe they forgot. All the glory they have, including the position of Crown Prince, was brought by me. The day I returned to the palace, my prestige was extremely great. The entire long street was filled with a joyful atmosphere, with people standing on both sides of the street to welcome them. In front of the Marquis Palace gate, the eunuch next to the Emperor personally helped me get off the palanquin. My father smiled brightly: "What kind of talent does my young lady have? How dare she bother the public servant to personally send her home?" The chancellor bowed, smiling on the outside but not smiling on the inside: "You're joking, my lord. You are a goddess, is there anything you don't deserve?" After he left, we entered the palace. My father's face immediately sank, with a bit of dissatisfaction: "It's too ostentatious. Suong Hoa, after all, you are a woman, you should do things discreetly and modestly." My face did not change: "Father, you should say this to the chancellor." He was so angry that his face turned pale. A woman wearing a blue dress stepped out, her figure was soft and graceful. "Sister is a famous lady, you shouldn't go against your elders." She spoke slowly, her voice was soft and weak. I narrowed my eyes: "Who are you?" "This is aunt Phuong's daughter, have you forgotten? Since you left, she has always been by our side to take care of us, extremely thoughtful. Suong Hoa, you should thank her." Mother held her hand and smiled conciliatoryly. I glanced at the two hands holding each other and coldly said "oh". I remember now. When I was a child, every time my mother was upset with me, she would welcome my younger sister into the palace and then deliberately love her right in front of me. My grandmother loved my sister-in-law and was mistreated by her step-mother, but she blamed me for being arrogant and precious. I already got used to it. During dinner, they chatted happily. People picking up food, people scooping soup, so bustling. I bowed my head to eat, not saying a word. The Marquis has rules of eating without talking, sleeping without talking. But as long as my cousin is here, that rule no longer seems to exist. After eating, I stood up to leave. "Suong Hoa." Mother called me back. It seemed like at this moment she realized that she had been cold towards me, her smile was a bit forced. "Your younger sister is about to get married, it's inevitable that the family will care about her more. Don't worry about it." "No." I shook my head, lifted my feet and walked out. From behind came the mother's sigh: "Always makes others dislike it. Oh, if only Dan Nhi were my biological daughter, it would be so nice..." 2When I returned to the room, I was stopped. The yard was filled with chests and trunks, wrapped with crimson silk ribbons, tightly packed with no space left. The lady guarding the door smiled and explained: "This is all the dowry the lady prepared for the young lady. The main courtyard had no place to put it, so she ordered someone to bring it to the eldest lady's room." I glanced at it. In an open chest were several sets of premium jade jewelry. When I was a child and loved beauty, I asked my mother for these things. She refused to give it to me, saying she would wait until I grew up and then give it to her. Now I have grown up,

she gave them to someone else. I closed my eyes and said coldly: "Throw it all out." Several maids immediately picked up the chest, preparing to throw it out. They were all maids given to me in the palace, and everyone was extremely resourceful. The lady guarding the door was startled and ran everywhere to stop her, but she couldn't: "Miss, that's not right!" I closed my eyes to rest and didn't pay any attention. She stomped her feet and quickly ran out. I know she's looking for her mother. When everyone came running, half of the chests in the yard had been cleared away. The mother tightened her handkerchief, her face unsightly: "Suong Hoa, what do you mean by that?" Standing behind her was So Dan Nhi, who was in tears and wanted to cry. In her hand, she also held a broken set of jade jewelry. The maids acted without knowing how heavy or light they were, many of the items in the chest were broken. Of course she was extremely heartbroken. "This is my place." I raised my head, my voice without any emotion. "What about your place? These dowries are all meticulously prepared by me for Dan Nhi." Having finished speaking, she glanced at the phoenix hat in So Dan Nhi's hand, reached out to take it, then angrily glared at me: "Or did you do that on purpose?" I slightly raised my eyebrows. Without waiting for me to answer, she frowned, her voice full of resentment: "It's not like I didn't leave it to you. You are a goddess, and have been loved by the Queen Mother and the Queen since childhood. I don't know how many good things you have received. Why do you have to compare even a set of jewelry with your sister?" "You are always so arbitrary and stubborn, who can stand it? You ruined so much dowry, how are you going to pay it back?" "I'll pay her back!" I interrupted. Mrs. She was stunned. I waved my hand, and the maid immediately brought a treasure box. A "bang" sound rang out, the box was opened, the inside was sparkling. All are pearls as big as a finger tip. So Dan Nhi tightened her handkerchief, her eyes filled with admiration. Just one jewelry box I randomly took out was worth enough to be worth several chests of her dowry. Looking at the surprised eyes of the two people, my voice carried a bit of impatience: "Now, leave my hospital!"3 I slept well all night. The next day, we prepared to go out. As I approached the side door, I heard a few maids talking. "I really admire Miss Bieu. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought so many bride gifts, you even prepared to give her a full dowry. With this scale, I'm afraid it's even more grand than Eldest Miss." Looking down at them from above. "Who do you say the bride price came from?" Unexpectedly, I suddenly appeared, they were scared to the point of trembling: "It's the Crown Prince." My voice became even more gentle: "So who is the person who said the young lady was about to marry?"... They did not dare to answer. We go to the main courtyard. Mother is next to So Dan Nhi, helping her choose clothes. "This blue outfit suits you very well, this light yellow outfit is not bad... Oh my, our Dan Nhi is beautiful, looks beautiful in anything." "Only mother knows how to praise Dan Nhi." When I walked in, before my eyes was the scene of such filial motherhood. Seeing me, both were shocked. Mother held the clothes, her smile was a bit unnatural: "Has Suong Hoa arrived? Look to see if there is one among these clothes that you like?" My fingertips slid through the fabric as thin as cicada wings. "Mother is right, this blue color really suits you." Her expression immediately relaxed: "I told you..." But right after that, her smile stiffened on her face. I smiled: "Are you going to marry the Crown Prince?" So Dan Nhi bit her lips and looked at me cautiously. The mother's face changed continuously. I don't know how long it's been, she's new

lowered my voice: "It's the Crown Prince." I didn't show my attitude clearly. Right after that, I gently moved my finger, and the tray and clothes fell to the ground with a "bang". Everywhere is messy. I smiled and looked at the servant standing outside the door: "Go invite father back." Everyone gathered in the main hall. Father was quickly called back, his face extremely upset. Mother sighed and lowered her voice to advise me: "Suong Hoa, don't make a mess. Dan Nhi is just a concubine, she can't surpass you. Why do you need to be so concerned?" The brother also looked impatient: "That's right, Suong Hoa. Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? Furthermore, your personality is stiff and boring, and you definitely can't make your husband like you. You're beautiful, and after you get married, you can still help." You keep your favor. You should thank her." I narrowed my eyes, the corner of my lips curled slightly. "I don't need to make my husband love me." Right from the moment I was born, the National Teacher determined that I was a goddess. If an ordinary person marries me, the family will be peaceful and harmonious. If the royal family marries me, the country's fortunes will prosper. When I was six years old, the Emperor personally carried me and pointed at the two princes: "Who does Tieu Suong Hoa like?" The eldest prince was the Queen's son, a bit older, always smiling and taking me out. Therefore, I point to the Great Prince. From that day on, the Great Prince was established as Crown Prince. The Queen was extremely happy, every time she saw me it was like seeing a treasure. At that time, the Noble Concubine was in sole favor, the Queen was always worried that the Crown Prince position would fall into the hands of the Third Prince. Everything has been decided, she can finally rest assured. The Great Prince at that time only vaguely understood, but also became increasingly close to me. I just didn't expect that when I wasn't married yet, they planned to send a concubine to the Eastern Palace first. ... The elder brother was angered: "Luc Suong Hoa, don't think that you are a goddess and you can do whatever you want. You..." "Enough!" Father interrupted him with a gloomy face. He is a smart man. The things the elder brother didn't understand, he understood. He clearly knows my weight, of course he doesn't want to really turn his back on me. He coughed lightly, lowered his voice and said: "Suong Hoa, it's not the parents who are biased." "It's just Dan Nhi... she's pregnant." "It's the Crown Prince's flesh and blood." I suddenly raised my head. Mother also opened her mouth, wanting to say it again. "The matter of making Dan Nhi a concubine was also the Crown Prince's idea." Stunned for a moment, I tilted my head slightly. The two mamas standing behind immediately stepped forward. One person held So Dan Nhi, the other took her pulse. So Dan Nhi couldn't escape, she could only endure the humiliation, letting people roll up her sleeves. My mother was both surprised and angry: "Suong Hoa, how could you do that?" I didn't pay attention to her, I just stared at my mother. Right after that, the mother retracted her hand and looked serious: "Miss Bieu is indeed pregnant, about to be two months old." I lowered my eyes. 4I went to the Eastern Palace for a trip. But I couldn't meet the Crown Prince. "His Royal Highness is discussing politics with someone else, please wait a moment." The palace man bowed his head, his attitude respectful and humble. We waited half an hour. Then stood up and went into the hospital. The Crown Prince and I are childhood friends and frequent guests of the Eastern Palace. No one dares to stop me. Through the small window of the study room, I saw the Crown Prince talking with someone else. It's just that what he's talking about isn't official. "Your Highness, I've been waiting for half an hour. Would you like to go out to see her?" The Crown Prince leaned half on the bed, looking lazy and tired: "It's okay, just let her wait a little longer."
